Those 'Elders of the Horde' would be turning in their graves if they knew, they were represented by Greater Blessing of Salvation...

Edit: Hmpf, icon got changed. :(

Comentario de Laugas

This might be a difficult one for us Alliance people (same for the Horde dealing with the Alliance members). Gonna be a lot of corpse runs and a lot of frantic clicking before the army that has formed on top of your corpse one-shots you again.

Comentario de Nutzi

Shouldn't there have been an elder in Silvermoon City also?

Comentario de trezy

Alliance players won't have to worry about this as this is only for horde players. Same with the other achivement, which is only for Alliance players.

Comentario de SoniStreet

@Nutzi: no there shouldn't be one, as you can see there are elders in cities that existed in vanilla wow.

@trezy: both of the achievements have to be completed by both of the factions. So you will have trouble.

Comentario de KamaradeMolotov

I guess an Alliance player won't be able to complete Elders of the Horde during the Lunar festival if Fate, Up Against Your Will is in the quest log or abanded. It has to be completed to have acces again to the "real" Ogrimmar. Is this correct?

Elder Ezra Wheathoof in TB i reckon is dedicated to Ezra Chatterton, got a phoenix hatchling as pet as well. Previously I think the NPC was named Proudhorn (as seen in a screenshot).

RIP Ezra

Comentario de Caras

YOU may have trouble. I won't. Bunch a' pansies playing nowadays.

Comentario de Caras

Ezra died at 9:45 on Monday night. The cancer attacked those portions of the brain that control breathing, and his lungs eventually shut down. He was conscious until the very end, and though he couldn’t speak, he could still communicate with me through hand gestures and nods. Ezra was in pain, gasping for breath, and very scared, but up to a few hours before he died, he was asking for ice cream and choosing the things I read to him. As much as I feared the cancer would take his mind and memory away from him, he held onto those as long as he could.

The ironies are sickening. Ezra’s mind was always his greatest strength, and stayed strong even as his brain was malfunctioning. His spirit and his will to live life well grew so amazing powerful all the way to the point that his life was taken from him. No one I have ever met was as talented at finding the bright side of a horrible situation, adapting his worldview to whatever new hardship befell him, and generally milking every last drop of happiness he could out of life as Ezra, and he’s the one who is taken. The one person in my life who most loved living and was most exceptionally gifted at it, and he’s the one who is taken.

I say these things because I am in pain, because I miss my son so much, and because Ezra’s death is an undeniable tragedy. It is the world’s loss that he doesn’t get to do more, and fulfill his great potential. But I also hope that I can learn from his example. When Ezra couldn’t walk anymore, he turned to World of Warcraft. When he couldn’t see, he turned to music, or our pets, or food, or directing me to play World of Warcraft for him. The trick was that, as his world got smaller, he just looked at it more closely. If I am to take any shred of good from this suffering, I’ll have to learn from him.

I hope to honor my son by learning to love my life as much as he did. It will take a long time to get to that point, especially now that my greatest joy is gone, but Ezra would demand it of me. I ask the WoW community, who have been so generous and kind to us, to please help me honor Ezra by doing the same in your hearts. Ezra’s sickness and painful death was a tragedy, an experience that showed me a glimpse of how easily suffering can invade your life, but his response to it showed me how a strong will can overcome that suffering. As well, the outpouring of love from all WoW players all over the globe showed me how wonderful people can be to someone they’ve never met. Our bodies are fragile, but our hearts are incredibly strong. A tumor the size of a raisin is enough to destroy the brain, but our minds are so much more powerful and immense than the brain.

My son, Ezra Phoenix Chatterton, Ephoenix the Hunter, Squirlanator the Mage, is gone. All we have left in this world are memories of him. Please remember that he was a good person, smart and clever but also very kind, that he loved to play World of Warcraft, that he loved rice pudding and fettucine alfredo, and that he went through so much pain and still found ways to smile all the way to the end. Please remember too the kindness of Blizzard, and the overwhelming love of the WoW community. Without these gifts, Ezra would still have found a way to be happy and optimistic, just not as easily.

Thank you all for helping him through the suffering.

Sincerely,

Micah Chatterton

I have completed the quest line with Lady Jaina, and I was met with guards and players in Ogrimmar. They must have fixed it or something.

Comentario de Groundlord

Druids and Rogues on the Alliance side are going to have the easiest time (Stealth FTW), and Mages might have a somewhat easier time with Invisibility. Everyone else will likely have to do a few corpse runs (TAKE YOUR GEAR OFF BEFORE YOU TRY THIS).

Doesn't seem fair to me that the Alliance gets a free shot for the UC Elder, when the Horde actually have to go deep into all of the Alliance cities to get their coins.

Comentario de Polargion

A few simple tips for Alliance players, I got this achievement myself last night without one death so I thought I'd just share some basic information.

1) For the Orgrimmar Elder, make sure you use the Western entrance from the Barrens. I only encountered one player down here and thankfully he wasn't a level 80, leaving me only to deal with the 6 or so guards right at the entrance. The Elder is located in the Valley of Wisdom.

2) In Orgrimmar, there's a few good hiding spots where you can heal yourself without aggroing any guards and (normally) being out of sight of players, the best one I found was on a building just after the Western entrance. On the Orgrimmar map, just look for the series of 3 huts near said entrance. You can also use these spots to plan a route on the map.

3) Orgrimmar again, make sure you don't actually follow the path exactly when going through the western entrance, guards patrol down here and you don't want to be hit by those if you've already had 6 guards chasing you.

4) Thunder Bluff, this is in my opinion the easiest one to get. Make sure you use the lift located north of Thunder Bluff, this puts you about <20 seconds away from the Elder, who is located in the Elder Rise. Go up the northern lift, get out of it at the top, take an immediate left into the building up ahead (you won't be dismounted), go up the stairs and out the door at the top, sharp left/right and follow the rope bridge to the Elder. He's located between 2 trees on the northern section of the rise.

5) This route in Thunder Bluff is a bit like Orgrimmar in terms of guards - The majority are near the entrance. They should leash as you get to the end of the bridge.

6) Engineers or any one who can do a slow fall effect just need to jump off Thunder Bluff when you're done with the elder. Make sure not to immediately hit your parachute/slow fall spell, otherwise a guard may just follow you down the side of the rise and mutilate your helpless body.

7) Undercity...Not much to this really, head in through front entrance, keep going across the courtyard, enter the main throne room and he's pretty much dead centre. No guards to worry about, just players - And even then, not that many.

8) If you're having trouble with any of these, try doing them late at night/early in the morning to avoid the peak playing times.

9) Obvious tip - Run for each of these without armour on if you don't fancy a possible repair bill. Make sure you go there in style though.

Comentario de Keljan

Being a Paladin has its advantages. Bubble hearth + Crusader Aura ftw!

Comentario de Jurandr

For those of us who are mages, you can iceblock on top of the elder and turn in the quest that way. Just ice armor and manashield/ icebarrier when your running in and you'll have no problem getting them all.

Also note that orgrimmar has stealthed guards on most of the roofs. While easily accessible, they are not safe at all.

Comentario de Orkinman

I just noticed that whatever you did towards this achievement during previous Lunar Festivals DOES NOT CARRY OVER to this year. So, you have to start all over again when honoring the elders here.

Comentario de Kraptyr

If you are a paladin is pretty easy to do. When you're near the elder put Divine Shield, you can still talk to him and get the achievement.

Pretty easy hã?

Comentario de Fetzie

Elder Darkhorn is now on the plateau next to the eastern zeppelin tower, coordinates 52.3,59.9

Comentario de GeneralBronald

Great that we now have flying mounts in Azeroth, getting to the opposite faction's Elder is much easier now for the non-level 85's and of course, reaching Elders in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms. :)

Gets you in and out with a minimum of fuss and you can do it without dismounting. So far I've gotten in and out of Thunderbluff, Undercity and Ogrimmar without dying as alliance scum. Razor Hill was actually more difficult due to the level 85 flight master and his pack of 85 elite wyverns.

Comentario de zero0911

Honestly...hate how this is easier for the horde. UC is easy but SW's elder is outside, darnassus is easy to avoid fights, IF is the only tough one. Plus didn't know the zep goes into org so flight patrol got me

Comentario de zero0911

Warning! Do not take zeppelin to Org. You'll die

I didn't know they moved the locations around, so I came out inside the city (expected to be outside). I started to fly to get out to enter from behind but was shot down.

Comentario de Castor27

I just successfully took the zep From UC to Org. I rode on teh top of the balloon. The zep landing is right next to the elder. Dropped down got the quest then flew up. Even luckier I timed it where the TB zep showed up right when I was finished so I rode the top of it to TB and finished up the Horde side.

Comentario de Akhanamunn

Since the Cataclysm, this is a pretty easy achievement to get.. the only one that might cause a bit of a problem is Orgrimmar as the Elder is very close to the level 85 elite flight master, Undercity is easy as it is more or less undefended and you are very unlikely to bump into a member of the Horde there

Comentario de HaveyJoe

Just for kicks and giggles during Wrath, my tauren shaman would put on a festival suit, the 'Elder' title, an Elder's Moonstone, and then stand by an edge in Thunder Bluff and see if any Alliance would actually approach him to get a coin, and a couple of people actually did. Instead of a coin, they got pushed off by a Thunderstorm.

Good times. Obviously, this isn't very useful anymore now with flying mounts being usable there.

Comentario de Thejusticar

I've done up a separate video for each of the Horde elders to be 'honored' for those who are attempting it on alliance toons. It's fairly straightforward in each case, without much worry about guards and the like. At any rate, I tossed them up on my server; here they are - tiny url style: com/7n5vxfrFull link style: jetlagandgaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=65

Comentario de Drdss

In response to @zero0911, there's no reason not to take a Zeppelin from (e.g.) Undercity to Org if you're Alliance. Sure, it takes you to the heart of the city now, so I wouldn't be standing on deck when it docks if I were you, but park your flying mount on top of the balloon then you're safe enough. I stood on one carolling during Winter Veil and didn't get disturbed. Plus if you're quick, you can hop onto the connecting flight to Thunder Bluff.

For those of you that, like me, are addicted to TomTom, here are the coordinates, ready to be put in a macro.

Comentario de Vlad

I made myself an addon to help me visit all the Elders, but since it's selfish not to share, here is a link to said addon, Candy Buckets (Lunar Festival: Elders) -it will help you figure out where you have been and where you can go, have fun! :)

Comentario de casiekp

LVL 86 - in LVL 25 Guild: 60,500 EXP for each Elder.

LVL 87 - in LVL 25 Guild: 70,400 EXP for each Elder.

Alliance: Also, getting 82/83 Tushui Pandaren Reputation. One will be 82 the next 83, then 82 again. Repeat.)

Comentario de Dramfiolz

These achievements are now account-wide, so you can just make a Horde character to get the elders in the Horde cities if you don't want to bother doing it on your Alliance toon. You will get credit, I just tried it myself.

Comentario de f07gano

There are many of these coordinate lists already made, but I added this one for people who want the following:

Comentario de DLZ217

I put together the most up to date list and checked its validity by actually doing every step and I feel like not only is it complete but also the most direct and quickest route. Its broken into 4 sections, Eastern Kingdom, Kalimdor, Northrend and the remaining Outlands. All starting essentially in Ogrimmar (Alliance you can probably easily adjust to suit your path by jumping into the middle somewhere). These list include Dungeon Elders and Capital City Elders.

Moneda de linaje is unusual in that it persists in you bags year round (and does not expire and disappear like a lot of other holiday currencies). As such, you can save some for the following year. Note that it is not a currency that appears in your currency tab, but is an item that stacks to 100 and takes a bag slot.

Cosmetic outfits that can be used toons of any level (ideal for bank alts!) Equips to the chest slot. Note that these CANNOT be transmogged.Purchasing one of these is a requirement for the achievement Las mejores para el Festival Lunar.A red variant of the suit and dress can be crafted by tailors. The pattern is available from Fariel Cantoestelar (see below).

Consumable item. Causes your Perrito faldero pet to run around for 10 seconds with a firestick in its mouth, which shoots blue fireworks out periodically. A reference to this awesome video.These are not soulbound and can be traded or bought/sold on the Auction House.

Toy. Shoots a Horde or Alliance symbol firework into the air. 3 minute cooldown.Only 1 of the 2 toys will be available to you, based on faction. HOWEVER, learning one adds BOTH Horde and Alliance toys to your Toybox (this counts as 2 separate toys for achievements like Maestro de juguetes). Note that Horde characters can only use the Horde toy, and vice versa.
